Concert picks for Jan. 15

Willy Mason

Singer-songwriter burst on to the scene a decade ago, then took a five-year break from recording before releasing his third record, Carry On, late last year.

“The New Noise”

The Strumbellas

Indie-country outfit celebrated a milestone in 2012 with their debut album. One of the town’s more underrated live-music gems, they’re doing a regular Dakota gig these quiet Tuesdays in January. With Graydon James and the Young Novelists. Dakota, doors 9 p.m.

“Libertango”

Lucille Chung

Montreal native has over the past couple decades grown from precocious Juilliard and Curtis grad into one of the most popular classical pianists of the current concert stage. Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts, 8 p.m.
